Unfortunately, my grandfather just lost his battle to terminal lung cancer. It has been a bit of a long road to travel but being with him in his last couple weeks have meant so much to me. It was very difficult to stand next to his bedside and watch him pass but in the end I know he was comfortable. My immediate family was able to be there for him throughout his last hours. His passing was followed by a beautiful private service. I could not be more thankful for the wonderful and loving support system that has been surrounding me these past few weeks. To everyone who has sent my family and I their well wishes, sweet thoughts & condolences it has meant more then you can even imagine to me.
On a brighter note... since January I have been very busy planning a fun and feisty Bachelorette Party for one of my dear friends of 25 1/2 years! ps. I will be turning 27 this August! So that should give you a little insight as to how close we are! Needless to say the weekend was a success and she had a wonderful time! (I hope! ha ;) )
For the past year all she has been telling me is how much she has been wanting to visit Ocean City, Maryland! Between the beach, all of the bars & of course the infamous SEACRETS! We just had to find out for ourselves what everyone has been talking about. I have never been there and all I wanted was to make all of her wishes come true! I pulled the troops aka the Bridal party together and with everyones hard work and dedication we truly had a beautiful weekend for one beautiful Bride-to-be!
We stayed at The Princess Royale in Ocean City, Maryland. It is an ocean front resort with a hotel and a condominiums attached. Our Bachelorette Party stayed in a three bedroom, three bathroom condo! There were thirteen women all together! Everyone slept comfortably and our fridge was stocked with food and alcohol!
Here are some pictures from the fabulous weekend!
This picture was upon our arrival! Beautiful Bride-to-be & a yummy Malibu Barbie Drink!
Nothing like dipping your toes in the water with your sister!
The Calm before the storm... HELLO SEACRETS! Seriously, one of the best times I have had in awhile! I highly recommend going there!
SO much fun!
This was the view from our balcony! It was one of the most serene moments of the trip! My close friends know that I hate sleeping with any doors or windows unlocked but by the last night I couldn't resist the natural sounds!
On our very last night of the Bachelorette trip we were blessed enough to see a SUPERMOON! Beautiful to say the very least.
Now that it is back to reality for me I feel like I can finally breathe a bit and focus on myself again! No more running back and forth to the hospital or being so on edge when your phone rings. There is three weeks left until my beautiful friend says her "I Do's!" I cannot wait and feel so very honored to stand next to her side. Now allow the whipping of my butt into shape commence! :)
Have you planned a fabulous Bachelorette Party or have some fun stories from one you have attended?? We love hearing from each and every one of you! Feel free to comment with some fun stories!
XOXO,
